Summary
This book is about the overview of the article-based thesis. It is written for graduate students mainly in the “hard” sciences, such as biology, medicine, and technology. The best time to read this book would be when you are finishing your individual papers.
However, you must find out at an early stage whether your university allows you to use the article-based format. If not, you have to write a traditional monograph thesis. Then, the contents of this book would be helpful to you as well. Listed below are those parts that are also valid for the traditional monograph.
